Any ROMs with Pie cooked in? Really surprised not to see this yet. GB is just too glitchy to make it a viable option. Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I don't think so. I like that feature but I can understand it not being at the top of any dev's to-do list. I would keep an eye on Paranoid Android and SlimKat.

GravityBox glitchy? That's news to me. I use it on all three of my Android devices (N5, N7, Moto X) and haven't had a single issue on any of them. The expanded desktop + PIE control works great.

Can you elaborate on that? I haven't had any glitches with GB at all.
For me, every reboot causes the nav bar to reappear and then pie doesn't work. There was something else too but it has been a month since I used it last. And of course you can't use ART with Xposed

Yeah, that's mainly what's keeping me from using Xposed. Now that I've used ART for a while I just can't go back to Dalvik.

That's weird, I don't have that issue. Were you using expanded desktop or just setting your navbar height to zero? I have expanded desktop with PIE tied to a quicksettings toggle and it always goes back into whatever state I had it in after a reboot. Then again, it'll stay after a reboot if I shrink it to zero as well. What version of GravityBox are/were you on?
Try lmt launcher. It has a fully customizable pie.

Damn, I remember you on the Note 2 forums. Glad to see you back on the same boat, Wolfe lol
Anyways, is the keyboard pop-up annoyance fixed in your uploads or is it still present? Thanks.
Works flawless for me. Stock.

I've found this launcher, kitkat and ART compiler to be sweet bliss. Swipe to left is buttery smooth with ART and 4.4.

If I install this GEL apk and end up not liking it, it is just a simple matter of uninstalling it or do I have to install the original launcher back?

Just clear defaults. Just like any other launcher. So you'll be good. If you have kitkat, you can do it from here (within settings>home):
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I just installed it and did not realize how large all the icons are now. is there a way around this? otherwise I may have to go back to the original kitkat launcher?
what other differences are there?
I do like the google now swipe right though.

The icons come with the launcher. Solution for smaller ones is to use a different launcher.

Grab an icon and drag it to the right, off the edge of the screen. The GE launcher will create a new home screen for you to drop it on. Drag back to the left and it will remove the unused home screen.
After weeks use of this launcher, there is only one annoyance. The launcher keeps adding a page for reasons I'm not sure of and the page indicator is a plus sign instead of a dot. Can't figure out why it keeps doing that. I have to fix it by adding an icon on the screen and taking it out to have it disappear. See Screenshot.

Happens to me on occasion. I actually think it's by design. It's not always there on mine, it's almost like a hint or tip. It's not always there.
That's the best I got...

have you installed new app? it seems to happen from what I've noticed on new app install on the stock launcher also.
if you select the stock launcher and get rid of the app off the home screen it seems to go away
Re up
Can somebody re up? It appears the link in the op goes to an empty folder. Thanks in advance.
I was wondering if any roms have ported pie over to kit kat yet. Plenty of roms have ported over halo so I was wondering why pie hasn't been ported over yet.
Immersive mode could be why it's not been ported yet

Unfortunately I can't stand CM/gravity box pie. It looks cheap in my opinion. I prefer the visual wonderfulness of PA pie
EDIT: xda derped and posted twice
It looks the same, having used both. Plus you can change how it looks. But yeah, pa coming soon so whatever

Ah right, but if i remember correct PA offers less customisation for PIE controls? I've set my LMT to have "screen-off" and "previous app" buttons on longpress, and adjusted the long-press time to make it faster - i find that really useful, could you do the same with PA? Its been a long while since i've tried that rom, it might've changed since then?

Well, PA haven't brought PIE to KitKat yet, so you wont find any PA based PIE controls here until that happens. Keep watching the Dev forums / G+
Hey guys, new to n5 and I dig the stock ROM...would a somewhat stock ROM ie cataclysm be any better..than say stock w/ exposed framework?? I think exposed can give me any tweaks I need...right?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Better is a relative term.
What is it you're trying to do with your phone?
many roms arent like really develped roms, people just compile it from whats already made then they add mods, using exposed would be just as good in those cases. but some developers actually develop a rom and fix things, they dont just add mods. those roms would be "better" than just using exposed.
Just thinking in terms of updates, etc...I find stock is good... Guess I'm wondering if the mods take performance away.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Even though I run cataclysm I would recommend staying stock/ rooted and use xposed and either load Xblast or gravity box.

Why do you say that? Just looking for discussion... I feel android has matured greatly since GB into ics. I've looked at cataclysm.. Seems to have the stock feel with just the right features

Really, it's down to what you prefer. I just like to stick to stock rom with xposed modules and a custom kernel like franco.

I say that because there is nothing in cataclysm that I use that isn't available in xposed with gravity box or xblast other than "quicktiles, disables fullscreen keyboard, battery style." As I said nothing not available in xposed. I just don't want to factory reset in all honesty. The only thing I am waiting for with cataclysm is to be able to adjust volume without having to unlock the phone, that is a big gripe of mine.
Thanks man. I'm the same way.. I'm over the whole factory reset.. I'll look into xposed. And stay stock! Thanks again

I was wondering if anyone found a good messaging app that worked with Halo. So far hangouts is the only one that works reliably for me. AOSP messaging works until I click a contact thread and it switches into the full app. Textra and 8sms open the full app when I try to open them through halo. Oddly enough other messaging programs like kik work fine. Is this just the state of halo on kitkat roms, or something that app developers need to change? Thanks for any help.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Halo is a recent port to KitKat since pa hasn't implemented their official halo yet. Operability should get better as development continues.

Yea, pretty cool idea. I didn't end up using it very much because I prefer the banner notifications that are an option with the app: LockerPro Lockscreen as they are less intrusive for every day use.
Hi! So I just rooted my N5, flashed Franco Kernel, Xposed+Gravity Box. So after this when I'm at the home screen there is an ever so slight lag when I click the recents button or go home from app tray, etc. So basically it kind of lags on the home screen, no widgets or anything. Is this my fault and is there anything I can do to fix it? Thanks!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
mess with the settings, find what you like. if youre still unhappy, try a different kernel, or different rom. try a few, find what you enjoy and what fills your needs. then youll be trully happy

Okay I'll try to fix this or I'll flash a rom. I think it's Gravitybox that's making this beauty lag.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
It is gravity box. I quit using it for the same reason. Now, if I want features like what GB offers, I just use slimkat... Which has most if not all plus more hard coded

Oh I knew it may have been the culprit! Well I think I may just flash a custom rom for the features and avoid the lag. Thanks for the awesome advice!
